The Mutahidda Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) Rabitta (Coordination) Committee has decided to award a ticket to party’s senior leader Mustafa Kamal from Karachi’s NA-249 constituency.
According to media reports, MQM-P senior deputy convener Mustafa Kamal’s nomination received unanimous approval from the committee, paving the way for his candidacy from NA-249. Earlier, the party leadership has issued tickets to four candidates for the upcoming general elections.
Syed Hafeezuddin will contest the elections from NA-245, Muhammad Iqbal Khan from NA-236 and HumayunUsman NA-243. Fayyaz-ul-Haq Khan was awarded party ticket to contest election from Karachi’s PS-112 constituency.
In 2018 general elections, PTI candidate Faisal Vawda secured victory in the NA-249 seat. However, Faisal Vawda was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as he had submitted a false affidavit along with his nomination papers for the 2018 general elections.—INP
